Isil Alben - EuroBasket Women 2015 Profile

Ever since missing the EuroBasket Women Final Round six years ago, the stock of Alben has risen dramatically after playing a major hand in delivering medals for the national team with a stack of influential contributions in major tournaments. Her defensive play in particular and extraordinary ability to forage for offensive boards compliment her creative playmaking abilities. She has matured with age on the floor and was one of the main thrusts behind Galatasaray making history and becoming the first Turkish team to land a EuroLeague Women title. Her play wowed teams around Europe and she was snapped up by Dynamo Kursk, so now also brings the added insight of having completed her first-ever club season outside of her homeland.
